I'm not a pilot,but I just feel that it's a good practice to put the gear in the 'Up' position and wait for a few seconds before lowering it instead of directly putting it into the 'Down' position from the 'Off' position. For those who don't know, i asked my friend who is even a more aviation fan than me what would the 'Off' position actually does. He said it depressurizes the gear hydraulics after it is retracted or extended. If the hydraulics are not pressurized,the gear can't extend/retract. I think if you put it into the 'Up' position it pressurizes the hydraulics. And then when you put the gear into the 'Down' position, the gear doors (nose only for the 737) will be unlocked and released. The locking mechanism that locks the gear into the retracted position is then released and the gear comes down.

Good to see a very good procedure. Congrats !

Now I know what I've done wrong. Forget to set the com B.... Thanks for sharing. Well done.

Excellent video !

Nice vid!

Micah firstly, thank you for putting in the time to create super easy to understand tutorials. Is there any way you will be able to create one for missed approaches and go arounds and re-programming FMC on the fly and subsequent landing after that. Thanks again.

Good job thank you for sharing

Great tutorial well demonstrated and clearly explained this is fantastic. How do you config x-checklist to auto pop up when it reaches a certain leg or you envoke it with a shortcut key?

good job thanx for sharing

There are limitations to using full autoland. Both engines must be operating, max crosswind is 20 knots, and max tailwind is 10kts. The max and min G/L angle is 3.25-2.50 degrees for autoland. My reference is 2016 FCOM.I only use LOC for non-precision approaches and arm APP on the intercept heading.

The rvr6 is actually 600. Just a correction from a dispatcher.

RVR is Runway Visual Range as measured by lasers on the airfield, its another weather minimum.

very nice.

Thanks

Nice video, how did you get so great clouds ?

Hi Micah, Your videos are great and I have Zibo V3.39.25a and it fly beautifully. But I have the same problem as others - Cannot engage both at the same time. One goes OFF when the other button is pressed. Hope something is not correct. Can you explain it.

Hi. I often fly in Munich in the fog. I mostly use autoland and the plane very often crashes into the ground just like that. What am I doing wrong with autoland? Frequencies are turned left and right and in the PFD it also says LAND/FLARE/ROLLOUT. Do I have to take the thrust out beforehand? It often seems to me as if the plane just doesn't flar.

I find that with Max auto braking and NOT apply brakes manually, it will slow very quickly. If the brakes are applied manually with auto brakes on, it cancels the auto brakes.

I put the same runway course in both places, the same ils freq, both FD on, and when i pull the CMD B, the ap disengages. What did i miss?

How do you get your plane to look so good? My plane is blurry in some parts in the cockpit. Can you please link me your plane. Thanks

My plane lags out the second I get on the ground and I have a good pc so what is happening with it

What traffic add on are you using for ai aircraft flying around? I used x life but cause crashes all the time so I uninstalled it :(

Does the auto-thrust automatically disengage when the auto brakes kick on? Or did you do that via keyboard?

What checklist are you using. I like that one better.

Nice job, very informative. How do you get the airplane to show up on avitab like that? Mine only shows up on the main map on avitab, but not on airport approach plates or diagrams. Any tips?

can we use CAT III landing even if it's clear outside? or does it have to be foggy in the weather settings?

Cool tutorial but if you were Ryanair pilot you would be sacked for extending flaps during downwind turn (see you have 330/12) as this bank turn reduces lift therefore engines increase thrust and extended flaps create drag so engines have to work even harder, burning more fuel ofc ;)

How do I create custom views? So like getting to the overhead panel in one press. I’ve watched tutorials but they require a numpad. But I don’t have a numpad

Wish mine went so smoothly. I don't know how many times I've tried to get autoland to work... if I get the glideslope and the localizer perfectly set up and the diamonds are full and then hit the approach button and put the 2nd CMD on, the approach button light goes off and one CMD will turn off and the FD switches. If I hit the 2nd CMD to turn it back on, then the FD switches again and the other CMD turns off. It stays on ONE CHANNEL and never goes to LAND3. So I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Mine doesn’t change between single ch and land 3... any Idea why?

Should I be removing vectors or does that mess with the landing?

what do u use for the clouds?

Where did you get the pop up check list from?

I have watched 4-5 KZfaq videos trying to setup a Auto Land and each time I get bit! Zibo MOD Boeing 737-800 X-Plane v11.36r2 Arriving into KBNA using the CHSNE arrival Rwy 02R (which is a Cat III rwy) As the AP turns to 021 inbound at 3000 ft I click APP and the approach begins. However when I select Cmd B it turns off the Cmd A and still lands only as a regular ILS landing...NO effort to Auto Land Both courses set to 021 Alt 000 Both Nav's 111.75 Flaps 30 Anyone with a suggestion on whats necessary to perform a Auto Land

How did you get that chart

Does autopilot and autothrottle disengage automatically?

Did you flare the plane, or did it do that?

I cant have CMD A & B engaged st the same time, after a few seconds one of them disengages

Where did you download that checklist?

@9:00 the phonetic pronunciation of "i" is what now???

You hit VOR LOC and then later hit APP phase. What's the difference between the two? I usually only hit 'VOC LOC' button.

U landed with a 12 knot tail wind but other than that great tutorial aha

Not on the Center Line 😬

Bro i don't even know how to enable autopilot!
